Wait, what was that last one? Yes, try more wines. I’m not hoping for the most storied and expensive wines available, just a wider variety of wines for 2018. Lately we’ve found ourselves stuck full-throttle on the California Cabernet Sauvignon track. We stick to what we love, and haven’t branched out lately, so it’s almost always full-bodied Cabs.

I know, it’s a bold commitment. Undoubtedly, you’re impressed with my fortitude. This New Year resolution is more than an appreciation of wine: it’s a commitment to the environment and a celebration of our viticulturally diverse planet! Very solemn.

And, once I ramp up our world of wine (and the history of wine – bet you didn’t know that the corkscrew was designed in the mid-1800s), I can then make a solemn stab at another important 2018 New Year’s Resolution: salty snacks!

What are your New Year’s Resolutions for 2018? How many have you been able to keep so far?
